View Property

Applies To: ListView

Description

The View property specifies how the items in a ListView object are displayed. It is a character vector which may have one of the following values; 'Icon' (the default), 'SmallIcon', 'List' or 'Report'.

When View is 'Icon' or 'SmallIcon', the items are arranged row-wise with large or small icons as appropriate. When View is set to 'List', the items are arranged column-wise using small icons. When View is set to 'Report', the items are displayed in a single column using small icons but with the matrix specified by ReportInfo displayed alongside. In this format, the ListView also provides column headings which are specified by the ColTitles property. The alignment of these titles (and of the data in the columns beneath them) is defined by the ColTitleAlign property. Examples of different views are illustrated below.
